Description
TCI H0096 Squalane is a branched saturated hydrocarbon containing thirty carbon atoms, supplied as a colourless, viscous liquid that is practically odourless. The compound is the fully hydrogenated form of squalene, which means it no longer contains any carbon–carbon double bonds. Within a chemical catalogue it is classified as a non-heterocyclic building block, but its everyday role in the laboratory is considerably broader: it serves as a stable non-polar medium, a heat transfer fluid for high-temperature baths, a stationary phase in gas chromatography, and a reference material in formulation and cosmetic research.
The property that most often determines the choice of squalane is its high stability towards oxidation, a direct consequence of the absence of double bonds that oxygen can readily attack. Unlike squalene, which oxidises quickly, squalane can be kept for long periods without any change in colour or odour. Its vapour pressure is very low, so it barely evaporates even when heated, while its very low polarity allows it to mix well with oils and non-polar solvents but leaves it insoluble in water. Moderate viscosity combined with chemical inertness makes it a safe medium for a wide range of experiments.
In Indonesian laboratories, squalane of this grade is typically drawn on wherever a non-volatile, chemically unreactive liquid is required over an extended working period. It is commonly held in university and institutional chemistry laboratories for high-temperature bath work and chromatographic use, and in formulation and cosmetic research groups that need a consistent non-polar reference liquid. Its resistance to oxidation is particularly valuable in warm, humid working conditions, where less stable oils would degrade.
Laboratory Applications
High-temperature bath fluid — its very low vapour pressure means it barely evaporates on heating, so bath level and thermal contact stay stable throughout long runs.
Gas chromatography stationary phase — the saturated, non-polar structure gives predictable retention behaviour for non-polar analytes without the reactivity that unsaturated liquids would introduce.
Non-polar reaction and dispersion medium — chemical inertness and moderate viscosity let it host reactions or suspensions without taking part in them or interfering.
Formulation and cosmetic research — it functions as a consistent reference oil whose stability against oxidation keeps colour and odour unchanged across repeated comparative trials.
Non-heterocyclic building block in synthesis — supplied as a defined thirty-carbon saturated hydrocarbon, it provides a reliable starting material for work requiring a fully hydrogenated backbone.

Handling and Storage
Store the material in a tightly closed container at ambient laboratory temperature, protected from direct sunlight and from sources of heat or ignition. Glass bottles with chemically resistant closures are suitable, since the liquid is non-polar and will mix readily with oils and organic solvents. Although squalane is chemically inert and highly resistant to oxidation, containers should still be kept sealed to prevent contamination by dust or moisture. Handle in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves, safety glasses, and a laboratory coat, and take care when the liquid is hot, as its viscosity makes spills slippery and slow to clean. Always consult the manufacturer's safety data sheet before use.
